  2. No Sleep Vs Topshelf Records

    No Sleep and Topshelf Records have been teasing some sort of made-up competition between the two labels for the last month or so. Now, the countdown on their website, topshelfvsnosleep.com, is complete and the announcement is available.

    The two record labels will be releasing a joint compilation at Hot Topic stores that will feature 20 new, unreleased, rare songs from their respective artists. This will be available on May 22 and is limited to 1000 copies. 

    Additionally, each compilation will also include a download code for 50 additional songs, as well as a golden ticket that could snag you a vinyl subscription from either label, free merch or something else.

    Not a bad deal for $4.99.

    More details will be available on the 22nd. As you can see, the tracklisting is currently blurred-out.

  13. La Limited

    On the upcoming LA DISPUTE tour with BALANCE AND COMPOSURE, La Dispute will be selling an exclusive package called Conversations. It will include the following:

    - “Conversations” - an audio interview with Jordan about the stories and themes presented in Wildlife. The interview is also coupled with movements from Chad’s “Mixtapes” (which were ideas recorded on a dictaphone that would later shape some of the songs on Wildlife). Everything is open for interpretation by the listener, of course, but it does give a little more insight into the concept of the record.

    - “Snapshots” – a zine of polaroids I’ve taken on various tours and studio sessions surrounding Wildlife.

    - Screen printed poster designed by Mr. Adam Vass.

    - 4 postcards: a Departure, a Letter, a Poem, a Broken Jar.

    - The 826michigan OMNIBUS  Vol. 2 – A fantastic and very unique collection of short stories and poems written collaboratively by 826michigan students. (Seriously, it’s awesome. There’s a story called A Shark Named Pistachio.)

    - a select few will also include our “First Drafts + Sketches” zine.

    There will only be 150 of these packages as $20 each, so don’t wait to buy one.
